Remarks ※K. pneumoniae was anaerobically cultured in GAM broth (500 ml) for 24 h at 37 °C and the culture was centrifuged at 5700 x g for 5 min. The precipitates were suspended in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.3; 50 ml) and the suspension was divided into tubes (5 ml/tube). Ten mg of 1 was added to each tube and the tubes were anaerobically incubated at intervals at 37 °C. The incubation mixture was extracted with EtOAc (5 ml x 2) and the combined EtOAc solutions were evaporated in vacuo to give a residue. The residue was dissolved in 100 μl of MeOH, and 4 μl of the solution were injected to a column of μS C18 and analyzed by LC/MS. The amounts of the primary aglycones and nitrogen-containing compounds were determined by means of selected ion monitoring (SIM), using calibration lines prepared with authentic samples.

※Feces (10 g) obtained from a healthy man was suspended in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.3; 100ml). Tubes containing 1 (30 mg) and the suspension (10 ml) were anaerobically incubated for 10, 17, and 42 h at 37 °C. The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (7 ml x 2) and the combined solutions were evaporated in vacuo to give a residue. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (60 μl) and a 1 μl aliquot was analyzed by LC/MS. [Kawata et al., Planta Med., 57, 536-542 (1991)]
